A nano is born


....but just barely. This is a 10 gal. Lights are Coralife 96 watt pc with the quad bulb. 13.5# LR (need more). And 15# aragonite. The water is still a bit cloudy but getting clearer daily.

Good start Rick -- After seeing your main tank I know this will be an awesome tank in the end.

You never did reply to my post about Sept. 27th --- your not trying to avoid the subject ??? --- Maybe your just scared of a box of baggies ?? LOL

Yeah I meant to PM you. I'm fine with having a meeting here but I'm not sure about Saturdays. Baseball will be cranked back up by then and we're sure to have a Saturday game. Would a Sunday work?

Yep, I think so too. Nice balance of white and blue. Plenty bright too.

Rick,

Knowing you, I'm sure that your nano will turn out to be great and as spectacular as you main tank!

Here's to much success!

Bob

Yup I knew it --- your main tank could use a box of baggies.

Will put you down for a Sunday. We are trying to alternate between Sat and Sun. Sept needs to be a Sat so maybe we'll shoot for the one after that.
